As per this commitment, succeeding head of the family of Mewar have always fulfilled the sacred position as trustee of Shri Eklingji, a manifestation of Lord Shiva who is the Eternal Ruler of Mewar. All the successors of Bapa Rawal are hereditary 'Dewans' of Shri Eklingji and Trustees of Mewar. The governance of the State of Mewar was thus based on this unique concept of 'Trusteeship' and 'Custodianship'. This form of governance ensures an inbuilt, self-motivated accountability that is crucial for long-term stability. Custodianship of the erstwhile Mewar resided in its day-to-day governance; as a service to the supreme authority unquestioned by the bounds of legalities and ownership for centuries. Faced with such issues in the democratic environment, the House of Mewar judiciously dispersed the governance of their residual heritage into a set of 'Not for Profit' and 'For Profit' enterprises that would conform and could function within the now constitutionally defined legal norms. These organisations effectively operated as individual entities steered by the core values of the House of Mewar for more than two decades. At the turn of the millennium, I envisaged that all 'Not for Profit' and 'For Profit' enterprises need to collectively carry the continuity and responsibility of Custodianship and present a role model of governance and sustenance for this century. It is this overarching vision, first penned down by me some time in the late 80's in the document 'Inheritance 76' that has evolved and transformed into the 21st century Heritage Brand of Eternal Mewar. MESSAGE .......... The House of Mewar represents the longest serving, unbroken custodianship in the world. A custodianship that transcends all boundaries of kingship, democracy and everything in between. Founded on the teacher- pupil principles by the Guru of our founding father Bapa Rawal, Maharishi Harit Rashi, this custodianship continues to manifest the cardinal rules for governance through the concept of values and precedence yet providing for flexibility of action. Eternal Mewar is thus iconic of centuries of custodianship and protection of the core values of the House of Mewar, which has stood the test of time. The key objective of Joint Custodianship Programme of Eternal Mewar is holistic sustainability; cultural, environmental, social and economic. To achieve these objectives we constantly strive for a greater awareness of Eternal Mewar and fundraising for its multifaceted projects, events and activities. Eternal Mewar is a timeless custodianship that continues to create benchmarks in governance, a role model of sustainability, an icon of Heritage, Tradition and Culture of Mewar and an Unbroken Legacy since 734 AD. I extend a special invitation to the 'People of Mewar' and 'People of the World', Leaders and Philanthropists, Corporate Houses, National and International Banks, Foundations, Trusts and NGO's working in similar focus areas and Central and State Government Organisations to become a Joint Custodian of Eternal Mewar and partner with us to share the responsibility of fulfilling the objectives.

So we begin in Delhi (Old and New) to see her top monuments, great and small, before heading down to Uttar Pradesh -- Agra, home of the Taj Mahal, where no photograph or description has quite measured up to the beauty of the place when experienced firsthand. Watch as the white marble facade is illuminated at sunrise (and sunset) and examine the Taj’s iconic Mughal architecture. But there’s more to Agra than just the Taj, like the Agra Fort and (for those who want to venture further afar) the Tomb of Itmad-ud-Dualah and the mysterious ghost town of Fatehpur Sikri.

  • The City of Udaipur: an Insight Founded by Maharana Udai Singh II
    The City Of Udaipur: An Insight by traveldesk Founded by Maharana Udai Singh II in 1568, Udaipur has many legends attached to it. Udai Singh founded this city after Mughal Emperor Akbar besieged his fortress, Chittorgarh. It is believed that a holy man, meditating on the hill near Pichola Lake, advised Udai Singh to set up his capital here. After his death in 1572, Udai Singh was succeeded by Maharana Pratap, the most admired Rajput hero. As you read on this Udaipur city guide further, you will get to know more about this beautiful city. During Maharana Pratap's reign, Udaipur saw a battle being fought with the Mughals at Haldighati in 1576. In the years that followed, there were numerous invasions and battles fought by Mewar. All this came to rest in 19th century with the help of British intervention. A treaty was signed to protect Udaipur from the foreign invaders. After becoming independent, Udaipur merged itself within the union of India. Also known as the Venice of the east, the city Udaipur in Rajasthan, India mesmerizes the tourists with its charm and beauty. Because of many lakes Udaipur, it is sometimes also called the city of lakes. Udaipur travel and tourism will bring you across a number of palaces, rich in architectural beauty. The Lake Palace on Jag Niwas Island in the middle of Pichola Lake, along with the City Palace and the Jag Niwas are some of the famous palaces of the city. Udaipur is also known for its exquisite arts, craft and miniature paintings. Then there is also the famous Shilpgram festival attracting the tourists to Udaipur.

  • The Royal Gangaur by Taj Lake Palace
    THE ROYAL GANGAUR BY TAJ LAKE PALACE HISTORY OF THE ‘ROYAL GANGUAR’ _______ Steeped in history, the Gangaur is your chance to relive royal history dating back 150 years. This huge colourful boat once belonged to the Maharana of Udaipur and was used by him and his Maharani to watch the Gangaur festival. Gangaur (Gauri) is an incarnation of Goddess Parvathi, consort of Lord Shiva. A popular festival in Rajasthan, it is believed that during this period Parvati returned to her parental home to bless her friends with marital bliss. She is worshipped by married women, who, just as in Karva Chauth, fast and pray for the longevity of their husbands and unmarried girls for a suitable partner. On the last day women dressed in their finery – traditional Rajasthan costumes and jewellery — take out a procession in Rajasthan’s cities. In Udaipur, a colourful procession on Lake Pichola, with music and dance, ends with fireworks on the banks of the lake. The rulers of the day watched this festival from their royal boat, as the best of delicacies were served to them. There were two Gangaurs belonging to the Maharana, but over the years ended up being rather dilapidated. Word has it that during the shooting of the James Bond film Octopussy, a British naval expert salvaged parts from both to make one workable Gangaur. A LEGACY OF LUXURY A truly memorable experience on the historic Gangaur, the 150-year old boat used by the erstwhile Maharanas THE ROYAL ‘EXPERIENCE’ _______ A starlit night, shimmering, cool waters of a huge lake surrounded on all sides by historical palaces lit seductively, send their shadows dancing in the waters of the lake and weave a magic spell around you, in a 150-year-old royal barge rowed by six men.

  • Udaipur Leaflet
    PAGE | 01 FBN 30TH GLOBAL SUMMIT | FBN and its Indian chapter are proud to present the 30th Anniversary Global Summit in Udaipur, India from 16-19 October! More than 500 of FBN’s global members will gather in Udaipur - India’s magical City of Lakes – to discuss how business families are mastering paradoxes to marry the competence of the corporation with the soul of the family.Where better to host this year’s peer-learning than India. Said Farhad Forbes, Chairman of FBN: “India is a land of paradox, and as Indians we live with paradox every day. We have modernity intertwined with heritage; tradition and renewal; best business practice coupled with professionalism and spiritualism; poverty with aspiration, determination and hope". Adds Ajay Shriram, Chairman of the Summit Host Committee: “India is a very diverse country – culturally, philosophically, attitudinally. There are 29 states in India and each state virtually has a different language, different food habits, different cultures. At the same time we are a united country.” Summit Venue The Summit will be hosted in the Oberoi Udaivilas and Trident hotel, adjacent properties in the same compound, within a few minutes walking distance of each other. Summit Theme Challenges in business families are often not so much problems to be solved as contradictions to be managed together: tradition and innovation; short-term profit and long-term legacy; preserving family privacy and building a public profile; reason and emotion; meritocracy and inclusion. Such dilemmas are arguably amplified in the Summit's host country: the economist Joan Robinson once said, “Whatever you can rightly say about India, the opposite is also true.” Instead of feeling frustration, business families must learn to draw strength from the paradox dynamic to become a more effective force for good as businesspeople and individually.

It was early 2009, and Shriji knew that his responsibilities as trustee of Mewar would ultimately pass to his son Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar, with his daughters Bhargavi Kumari and Padmaja Kumari contributing their efforts to both the HRH Group of heritage hotels that the family owned and managed as well as numerous non-commercial activities under the umbrella of the Maharana of Mewar Charitable Foundation, the trust that Shriji’s father, Bhagwat Singh, had established.
